Nice. I removed that piece as well on my 58. I wanted to make the hatch openable from the inside.
Have you figured out how to do that yet?
I was hoping to make something like a switch or something that I could open the hatch from the inside when I'm camping.
Lmao totally agree. My past vehicles also stated some ridiculous low number for the cargo and I have car camped with my misses about 90 days of the year and have had conservatively 3 times the "limit" on the cheap plastic cargo parts and never had a problem.
I think all manufacturers state some...
" I can't conceive of how you could put enough load on it to break it "
I sure could. I weigh 200 lb and when I sit on the tailgate to put on my shoes take off my shoes or just hang out. Most of my weight is on that 7 in.
It's just a stupid choice of materials and designed by Toyota...
You just can't open them when you're lying on them or there's something on top of them.
But I like the OEM design and hoped they would have mimicked that and retained the storage compartments.
90% of the time I'm not lying on top of them or have something on them where I cant access them. So...
That's correct for where the rear seats used to be.
However, the front platform that touches the tailgate is what I'm referring to.
The OEM storage compartments (on the front portion ) are gone with their system.
I appreciate that. I Have looked at their system, however it deletes all of the original storage by the tailgate and behind the hybrid battery where the OEM storage was.
So I'm not a fan of it.
But I'm going to sit tight until I either find something that makes sense for me or I'll make it...
Thank you. It looks great. However, I have removed the rear seats and I'm mostly interested in a flat platform that Is as low as (possible ) on top of the hybrid battery and doesn't raise the floor at all.
I need all the vertical space in the cargo area I can get as I use it for work.
Do you...
I understand but I open the tailgate often and wanted to utilize the storage that was already there.
With GG design the rear plate is just an empty space with no storage walls up. So if you ever used it for storage, everything would fall out every time you open the tailgate essentially making...
It looks great. Had they not gotten rid of all the storage in the front and rear I would be very interested in buying it.
I'll wait to see what all the other companies come out with before I have to make my own
I don't know about common practice but I do know my other vehicles. If I run them dry they get filled up with the exact number of gallons that the manual states it holds.
Whereas the LC it seems like it does not happen this way.
You could just reach out to them. They're very responsive.
Initially I was considering them. However, because of the deletion of the storage next to the tailgate, I stopped considering it.
